Esoteric bookshop

I regularly passed this anarcho-esoteric bookshop and publisher. This was on the corner of the Benthuizerstraat and the Vinkenstraat : Uitgeverij Drukkerij Cagliostro. As you can see the books in the shop windows have been censored (protected?) by Google.

Usually I walked by on Saturday - and then the bookstore was closed. When I found the time to visit on a workday the place had been sold to a new owner. I will never buy one of those weird books. And I will not get to know an interesting person. It is a great pity. These were the books on 20 January 2010.

Rothschild Money Trust - 700 Kinderrijmen (700 children's rhymes) - Tesla said - Obama: the postmodern coup - America's secret establishment: The order of skull and bones - Konstantin Meul: Scalar waves - The plot to seize the white house - The legalized crime of banking - Places of the Soul: Architecture and Environmental Design as a Healing Art - A guide to German flying discs of the second world war

You immediately recognize some classics. And you see a clear prediction the the current financial and banking crisis. And during an earlier visit - on 23 August 2009 - the books were different. So there were some sales going on. A pity I never could buy one of these weird classics. They were not too expensive.

We still have one esoteric bookshop on the corner of the Witte de Withstraat and the Schiedamse Vest (why are those shops always on corners?) but that is a very tame, New Age and incense type of shop. This one was more feral and punk. The authentic anarchist thing.

Identity theft handbook - Vril - Starting out: modern benoni

Excel 2007 Data Analysis for Dummies - A catalogue of angels

Conspiracy theories - Solar technologies - Body language

America's secret establishment: The order of skull and bones - A guide to German flying discs of the second world war - Places of the Soul: Architecture and Environmental Design as a Healing Art - The biggest secret - The energy revolution - The Seven Seals: a Practical Occult Experience - Build your own solar: cells, oven, car

Finally I on 14 July 2010 I went by again - the store again being closed - and this time I photographed the books that were published by this specific publisher: Cagliostro Verlag Rotterdam - Uitgeverij Cagliostro Rotterdam. We have lost a tiny monument of Rotterdam:
